If you try to use any folder paths that aren't in those folders trees, then SAS thinks you want to write to directories that are actually in the virtual machine itself. Remember, the University Edition is really running SAS on Linux inside that vApp. That's not something you want to do (besides being hard to manage, you really want the vApp to be disposable & keep everything you care about on your local machine). To help with that, we set up SAS running in the virtual machine in a lockdown state. If you want to know the gory details about what lockdown is, see the helpful blog at http://blogs.sas.com/content/sasdummy/2014/02/21/using-lockdown-sas94/ . That's why you get the weird lockdown message.

Re: Lockdown state

Just a note: contrary to the instructions, a refresh whilst sharing a data folder won't suffice: need to logoff and exit the virtualbox machine to have the new shared folder visible. [Linux Mint 17.3, virtualbox OSE 5.04, SAS UEvApp
